Festivali i Këngës 62 Ranking

Over the past couple of days, Albania has been in the process of selecting their Eurovision song that will go to Sweden in May, following Albina and her wonderful family in Liverpool. With the rule of Festivali i Këngës 62 being that the songs aren't released until their performance, that brings us here. Getting first impressions a day or so before we get the result.

However, with 31 songs, I'm choosing not to give the entire ranking, as that would make the post really long (similar to Malta's National Final). So, I have decided to give you my top 5 songs based purely off of first impressions!

5. Troy Band – Horizonti i ëndrrave 4. Olimpia -- Asaj 3. Stivi Ushe – Askush si ty 2. Besa - Zemrën n’dorë 1. Erina & The Elementals – Jetën n'skaj

next up is elsa lila with "mars". the chat on the youtube livestream has been insane about her since last night, so i've got high expectations.

oh it's a ballad. okay. well.

regardless of whether or not i like ballads, she has a very strong voice. definitely a contender for a winner and eurovision representative.

It's the 22nd of December. I wrapped my Christmas gifts.

Logical next activity - watching a YouTube stream from Albania because they're picking their Eurovision 2024 song today! 🫨🫨

I can't believe the season is already upon us!

FIKMAS part 2

1. Big Basta & Vesa Luma – "Mbinatyrale - There is nothing to be said about this one, the peak of blandness and unoriginality

2. Elsa Lila – "Mars"  - Is this really the favourite to win? I mean it's not the worst ballad in the world but where is the juice??

3. Jasmina Hako – "Ti"  - Wtf even is this. Are you trying to make us dislike you? Again, there is nothing fresh about this song or performer, mouldy soup, really.

4. Michela Paluca – "Për veten - This song feels like when your thoughts are chaotically racing at 3 am and you're desperately trying to fall asleep

5. Anduel Kovaci – "Nan'" - This one feels pleasantly Albanian, inoffensive, quite nice to listen to.

6. Kleansa Susaj – "Pikturë" - I don't dislike it. The refrain reminds me of jesc Netherlands 2021, but of course not as good.

7. Eden Baja – "Ajër" - Maybe this is fine within its genre, I just don't vibe with this at all

8. Erina and The Elementals – "Jetën n'Skaj" - Can I say that I miss escz (our red haired lady was superior) this is just... meh.

9. Irma Lepuri – "Më prit" - Sorry I zoned out, this has almost put me to sleep

10. Arsi Bako – "Zgjohu" - This one is trying so hard and it's almost there...

11. Tiri Gjoci – "Në ëndërr" - Another Albanian lullaby.

12. Besa Krasniqi – "Esenciale" - Oh look, d a n c e r s. But why can't the song be danceable too?

13. Bledi Kaso – "Çdo gjë mbaroi" - Reminds me of father's old friend belting eastern songs while wasted beyond recognition

14. Troy Band – "Horizonti i ëndrrave"  - This would be great in an Albanian bar, drinking and vibing. I quite enjoy it, just not esc-like.

15. Martina Serreqi – "Vetëm ty" - Nooooooooooooo.

🇦🇱 Albania: Besa Kokëdhima - Zemrën n'dorë

FiKmas has come and gone, and now we have our second national final winner of the Eurovision 2024 season: Besa Kokëdhima with the song Zemrën n'dorë.

The song itself is fine. A dramatic tune with a good melody sung by a woman with a strong voice, your typical FiK affair. The more rapid-fire lyric delivery in the second half of the song does help break it up and provide some level of interest and uniqueness, though it's hard to tell if this is enough to bring it to qualifying standard.

Performance-wise, I feel pretty much the same way. Besa delivers well vocally and FiK's live orchestra (;-; if only the logistics were right to have one again in esc) helps elevate the song. Visually, there isn't much going on aside from some pretty LED backgrounds and Besa's golden goddess costume (between this and her chestplate outfit from night 1, she seems, at least somewhat, into fantasy aesthetics for this song). Granted, from what I've seen FiK entries tend to just be like that, and honestly the song probably doesn't need a whole lot in terms of staging.

Overall, Albania is doing what Albania does best, which is completely fine. While there were choices in their selection I would have preferred, Besa delivers the basics very well and, depending on circumstance, may be able to make it to the final. Of course, this is subject to change based on Albania's track record of revamps, so it's one to keep an eye on. But until then, time will tell how things play out in Malmö.

Watch the performance:

And soon I'll be happy with drowning in the rain: An Ode to the Amazing Songs We Lost in the Eurovision National Final Season 2024

YouTube Playlist Here

Disclaimer: I do not believe that a certain country should be allowed to participate in ESC due to the genocide that they are engaging in. Here are resources to help the people of Palestine 🇵🇸

National final season always means that we lose some fantastic songs that won’t ever get to grace to the big ESC stage, but I can memorialize all the other tracks I love here. This list contains the songs that got away, as well as some of the guilty pleasures, and songs I simply enjoy listening to, from the NF season of 2024.

Note that this is my personal taste, so I might be missing something you jive with. Songs are arranged by flow, not in a ranking. Some videos I likely will have to replace with another upload at some point. I went with studio recordings to be consistent (barring the bonus track).

This playlist is in no way meant to put down the actual winners.

National Final Season Begins...

As we draw closer and closer to the end of 2023, Eurofans can get excited over National Final Season; an intense 3-4 months where we meet songs we love, cheer as our favorites win a ticket to Eurovision, and feel heartbreak when that isn't exactly the case. One country we can always count on to bring us to that start is Albania!

For the last few years, Albania has been among the first to send their Eurovision song after they have their National Final, Festivali i Këngës. And today, they have released a list of 31 lucky participants for Festivali i Këngës 62; unofficially kicking off the National Final season.

Similar to last year, it looks like they aren't going to be releasing the songs until the contest starts (which is around December, juuuust before the holidays), so the only thing we can base off are the artists.

As a newer Eurovision fan, and brand new to the National Final scene, there aren't a lot of names I was sitting there thinking "I KNOW THEM!" However, there is one name that I will highlight as I do know her from Eurovision! Kejsi Tola looks to return to the Eurovision stage 15 years after she represented the country with her song "Carry Me In Your Dreams" in the 2009 contest in Moscow, taking home a 17th place finish. Her entry will be called "Vallëzoj me dritën," and I'm sure a lot of Eurofans will be watching her closely to see if she will return to the contest this year!

I'm also attaching a link to the list of participants so you can see who will be competing to follow up Albina + Familja Kelemendi's 22nd place finishing "Duje."

What do you think? What other names do you think have a good chance at winning FiK62 and go to Sweden in May? Let me know in the comments below!

I'm sorry Albania but there were way too many songs and we somehow missed the first 8?? 😅 We didn't have the patience to finish, will check out the winner later.

We're watching ESCZ instead because we didn't get round to it yet. Seven contestants seems more reasonable to handle 😇🙃
